Overall Opinion:

Uptown Pro-A Retinol Night Serum is an average retinol serum that helped smooth and plump some of my fine lines.

The texture of this retinol serum is kind of gel-like and thick when it’s first applied, but as you work it into the skin, it becomes much more thin and watery.

This retinol serum is easy to apply as it comes in a bottle with a dropper applicator. You only need about 3-4 drops to cover your entire face and neck.

After using Uptown Pro-A Retinol Night Serum for a short period of time, there wasn’t too much of a difference. I noticed a bit of dry skin but it went away fairly quickly.

After using Uptown Pro-A Retinol Night Serum for a longer period of time, my skin was a bit more plump and my fine lines and texture were a bit more smooth than normal. But, it wasn’t as much of a difference as I had hoped to see after using a retinol serum.

Overall, Uptown Pro-A Retinol Night Serum is a good retinol serum but it didn’t make as much of a difference to my fine lines and wrinkles as I had hoped.

Detailed Opinion:

Texture/Feel

The texture and feeling of Uptown Pro-A Retinol Night Serum when it’s first applied is very gel-like and thick in texture. When you start to spread it out onto the skin, it becomes very thin and has a watery but dry feeling, almost like rubbing alcohol.

Application

Uptown Pro-A Retinol Night Serum is super easy to apply; it comes in a bottle with a dropper applicator which makes it easy to control the amount of product used.

Since it really thins out when you start to spread it out onto the skin, you don’t need a ton of product to cover your whole face and neck. You only will need about 3-4 drops, 2 for your face and 2 for your neck.

There isn’t much of a smell to Uptown Pro-A Retinol Night Serum. There definitely isn’t any added fragrance.

Short Term Results

After using Uptown Pro-A Retinol Night Serum, my skin was kind of dry, a little bit irritated, and flaky. But, the dry skin went away pretty quickly once I paired it with a bit of a more intense moisturizer.

Longer Term Results

After using Uptown Pro-A Retinol Night Serum for a longer period of time, it helped my skin even out a bit in skin tone and it smoothed some of my fine lines. Although it did help with fine lines and wrinkles, it didn’t help as much as I would have hoped.

Ingredients Analysis

Uptown Pro-A Retinol Night Serum is full of a ton of really great ingredients. There are many ingredients in this retinol serum that we find in other retinols and there are a few that stick out most of which are hyaluronic acid, witch hazel, and aloe vera.

Hyaluronic acid is great for anti-aging because it replenishes moisture to the skin and helps plump up the skin smoothing out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also help with replenishing collagen to the skin which can help prevent further aging from occurring.

Witch hazel contains tannins which can work to help tighten the skin which can then help lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Aloe vera is great for getting rid of fine lines and wrinkles because of its healing properties. It can help the skin by decreasing inflammation and helping replenish moisture to the skin.

These three ingredients together, as well as the other great ingredients in this retinol serum, should work well to help smooth and prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
